Buck Owens KUZZ/Bakersfield PD Brent Michaels lost a bet against fellow on-air personalities Kenn McCloud and Vic D surrounding the CMA Awards, and as a punishment, Michaels was forced to listen to a song of McCloud and D’s choosing for 107 minutes in a row. In a twist, the pair recorded their own version of the song for Michaels to ... uhm ... enjoy. Check out Michaels completing his task and listening to 107 consecutive minutes of McCloud and D singing “Picture” here. Or, skip the 107 minutes of torture and watch the time-lapse recap here.
